Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve has been spotted around Target Center throughout the girls’ basketball state tournament.

Outside her general support for women’s and girls’ basketball, Reeve has developed a unique interest in the local high school scene. She said individuals within the Lynx organization follow Minnesota’s top talent and identified 14 players in the Class 4A semifinals who could play Division 1 basketball.

“I’m really impressed. It bodes well for [the WNBA’s] future as a league,” Reeve said. “It’s fun to watch.”

Lynx point guard Lindsay Whalen played at Hutchinson and then for the Gophers.
